Jesus & the Disciples Example of Rejecting War

No where in Jesus's teachings did he qualify his words on vengeance. Jesus did not try to get "physical" and defend John the Baptist with violence nor did he try to avenge him. The disciples did not try to violently defend or avenge any of the other deaths of their own brothers, Stephen, James or any of them. Nor did they try to avenge the death of Jesus. What do you think that would have taught the world. It would have taught them that violence was the answer rather than turning to God and loving those who would persecute you thereby showing God's love to mankind. Look at the world! Do you believe the job is done. Of course not. What will they learn? How do you compare your rights in this country to the life of the King of the Kingdom of God. You or this nation would have no freedom were it not given to you from God above regardless of how hard you grope or fight for it. If you believe what you have now is the result of what men did before you then you lean too much upon man's ways. Do you really believe what you have now is better than what you could have had if men had truly loved and uncompromisingly obeyed God?
